Seeing Abundance

This collage to me points to a higher way of thinking that sees beyond the unconsious demands of my regular, everyday mind. I can keep myself overly busy and full to the brim with creative projects that I believe will make me happy. It is interesting to watch how many demands we make upon life from a sense of dissatisfaction. In this way we create a life of inner poverty...of not ever arriving yet.

Our daily mind constantly demands that life make us happy in this way and that. It is the place from where all of our unecessary doing comes from. From this place of demands we create false ideas about what would make us happy and all the seemingly necessary tasks to go along with those false needs.

To see through "higher eyes" takes persistence and great dedication. When we see through our higher eyes we realize that there is not that much we have to do. We do not even have to have elaborate goals or dreams. Life is truly laying itself out at our feet. To take life in richly and simply is often the only task. "What is my life revealing to me?" is often the only question.

"Just the way you look at it...change the world." As you practice seeing the light and meaning in every moment you will start to see beauty where there seemed to be none before. We can never think or dream ourselves into happiness - we can only be present for life to come to us in each unfolding moment.

Some good questions to ask:

1) How much do you complain in a day? Can you see that your every complaint is an unreasonable demand that life should conform to your personal wishes?

2) Can you step back from your own thought and watch them with curiousity? What do you see when you view all of life as helping you?
